ManageEngine Endpoint Central Flexible Platform.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Endpoint Central has helped our company apply many policies that weren’t possible to configure through a Domain Controller. It also resolved the patch management issues we were facing, because it gives us full control and clear visibility into missing, installed, and failed patches across all devices registered in Endpoint Central. On top of that, the dashboards are very rich and genuinely useful for analysis.
Pros
- Patch Management.
- Remote Control of registered devices.
- Act as a Unified Endpoint Management platform in case there's no unified domain controller.
Cons
- Ability to control the configured refresh cycle used on EPC.
- Detailed explanation for the published patches through Patch Management feature.
Return on Investment
- Being able to install all missing patches on the company's devices has helped us avoid the need to have Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
- Applying different policies and configurations at the user/device level is considered an alternative to a unified Domain Controller in the cloud, which is expensive, especially for companies with offices distributed around the world.
